REPORT: WR Allen Robinson intends to sign with the Bears

It appears former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson has found a new home as ESPN’s insider Adam Schefter is reporting he’ll sign with the Chicago Bears once the new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. EST.

As Jags fans are aware, Robinson tore his ACL during Week 1’s regular-season opener against the Houston Texans, which sidelined him for the rest of the 2017 season. However, due to having an abundance of cap space, it appears the Bears were willing to take a chance on the 24-year-old, who should improve their young offensive unit.

While with the Jags, Robinson managed to accumulate a total of 2,848 yards and 22 touchdowns. Most of those yards came from his 2015 campaign when he was voted to the Pro Bowl after racking up a career-high of 80 receptions for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Robinson will now join another young quarterback in Mitch Trubisky, who could use some weapons as the Bears were the No. 29 ranked team in points per game (averaging 16.5), the No. 30 ranked team in yards per game (averaging 287.4) and were dead last in passing offense (averaging 175.7 yards per game). He’ll also be playing for a first-time head coach in Matt Nagy, who was formerly the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs.
